    摘要: An active layer is provided on a side closer to the second conductivity type cladding layer than a center of the light guide layer in the light guide layer. A first conductivity type low-refractive-index layer is formed between the first conductivity type cladding layer and the light guide layer and has a refractive index which is lower than a refractive index of the first conductivity type cladding layer. A layer thickness d of the light guide layer is a value at which a high-order mode equal to or higher than a first-order mode is permissible in a crystal growing direction by satisfying 2  π λ  n g 2 - n c 2  d 2 ≧ π 2 . The active layer is disposed at a position where a light confinement of the active layer becomes smaller compared to a case in which the active layer is disposed at a center of the light guide layer while there is not the first conductivity type low-refractive-index layer.

On a main surface of a semiconductor substrate formed of n-type GaAs (gallium arsenide), from the bottom layer, an n-type buffer layer, an n-type cladding layer formed of an AlGaInP-based semiconductor containing silicon (Si) as a dopant, an active layer, a p-type cladding layer formed of an AlGaInP-based semiconductor containing magnesium (Mg) or zinc (Zn) as a dopant, an etching stopper layer, and a p-type contact layer are formed. Here, when an Al composition ratio x of the AlGaInP-based semiconductor is taken as a composition ratio of Al and Ga defined as (AlxGa1-x)0.5In0.5P, a composition of the n-type cladding layer is expressed as (AlxnGa1-xn)0.5In0.5P (0.9

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe apparatuses, optical systems, and methods related to utilizing optical cladding layers. According to one embodiment, a hybrid optical device includes a silicon semiconductor layer and a III-V semiconductor layer having an overlapping region, wherein a majority of a field of an optical mode in the overlapping region is to be contained in the III-V semiconductor layer. A cladding region between the silicon semiconductor layer and the III-V semiconductor layer has a spatial property to substantially confine the optical mode to the III-V semiconductor layer and enable heat dissipation through the silicon semiconductor layer.
